Physical changes

There’s a lot that people don’t tell you about getting pregnant. It makes sense, considering there’s hardly any conversation around teen pregnancy in Bethesda at all. Even after my pregnancy, I still haven’t had a conversation about my experience. I was more or less only five weeks pregnant, and it felt like my entire body changed. Which also makes sense. My hormone levels were elevated, and my uterus was getting ready to develop a child. I would spend one second crying and the next laughing. I was inconsistently cramping, and sometimes I would get bursts of energy after being tired all day. It was a weird sensation, something I had never felt before. It was as if my period hormones decided to take Adderall.
